NBA Report Highlights 3 Missed Calls in Warriors vs. Rockets Clash
The Golden State Warriors lost a one-point game on Easter Sunday. The Houston Rockets edged Golden State 117-116 as Steph Curry returned from a 27-game absence caused by runner’s knee.
League review of final minutes
The NBA released a Last Two Minutes report after the close finish. Filmogaz.com reviewed the NBA Report and its highlights from the clash.
The review found three officiating errors in the final two minutes. All three were incorrect non-calls.
Details of the 3 missed calls
- 1:28.6 remaining — On a Curry layup that cut the deficit to one, the league said defensive contact should have been whistled on Amen Thompson. That would have led to a free throw.
- 1:10.7 remaining — Alperen Şengün was not called for a three-second lane violation, the report ruled. Two seconds later he scored, drew a foul, and completed a three-point play instead of turning the ball over.
- 0:46.0 remaining — Officials did not call a defensive three-second on Draymond Green. The league stated Green remained in the paint longer than allowed without actively guarding an opponent. A correct call would have awarded a free throw and kept possession for Houston.
How the missed calls affected the game
Two of the non-calls would have been against the Rockets. Those missed whistles would likely have helped the Warriors late.
The defensive three-second oversight on Draymond Green favored Houston instead. That non-call allowed the Rockets an empty possession instead of free throws and retained possession.
Context and takeaway
Curry’s return mattered emotionally and competitively. But the narrow loss underscored how pivotal late-game officiating can be.
The NBA Report highlights these moments so fans can see how officials performed. Missed calls remain part of the sport’s unpredictability.
